I've Never Seen a Lucky Player! - Chapter 8: Tough Little Girl
In the end, the high school older sister chose to trust Fan Xiao temporarily.
For his part, Fan Xiao gave a quick rundown of his guesses about the evolvers to the two sisters.
“Evolvers who ate animals would gain the genetic abilities of the animals, such as the hearing and sense of smell of a dog, the night vision and dexterity of a cat, and so on.”
“But at the same time, the body will also develop a part of the skill of an animal.”
“And I’m afraid they won’t be able to acquire any more game professions and talents.”
“Man-eating players are at an advanced level compared to beast-eating players.”
“When an evolver consumes three different types of animals, their bodies undergo mutations to the point where they can no longer maintain their human sanity. They instinctively attack humans to replenish their human genes.”
“After replenishing, they can transform back into humans with significantly increased strength. However, the downside is that they lose the animal abilities they have acquired, while retaining the desire to consume humans.”
“The players in evolution games can generally be divided into three categories,” Fan Xiao speculated.
Fan Xiao speculated:
“Human players, who haven’t preyed on any animals or insects, can acquire game professions and talents;
Orcs… or, in other words, sub-human players, have preyed on one type of animal and gained its abilities;
Man-eating players have neither talents nor animal abilities, but consuming humans can increase their strength. It is estimated that their physical prowess is the strongest among the three player types.”
The older sister of the high school student asked, “Are you a human player?”
“Um.”
“Why didn’t you reveal your speculation from the beginning? That way, we could have been prepared… Well.”
The older sister suddenly realised. “Sorry, I asked a silly question.”
The high school student’s younger sister expressed her opinion, “Sister, of course, you shouldn’t have revealed it from the beginning. Otherwise, it would have alerted the enemy, and we wouldn’t have been able to ambush that man-eating monster.”
She was no longer afraid and guarded against Fan Xiao now.
She even felt a little guilty because she misunderstood Fan Xiao before and cursed him in her heart.
“Gardenia,” the high schooler’s older sister shook her head. “That’s not what I meant, I mean…”
“What your sister means is that anyone could be a man-eating player.”
Fan Xiao quickly interjected before her sister, explaining, “Before knowing the number of man-eating players, if you bring up this matter recklessly, you may attract many enemies in advance. They might target you and use underhanded tactics against you.”
“That’s right.”
The high schooler’s older sister glanced at Fan Xiao and said to her younger sister, “In other words, he also suspected that we were man-eating players before.”
“What? Fan… Brother Fan suspected… suspected us of being man-eating players?”
The younger sister looked at Fan Xiao, hesitating to speak. The thought of eating humans made her feel a little nauseous and disgusted.
Fan Xiao shrugged.
The high school student’s older sister was a bit clueless, that was, she didn’t know how to read the atmosphere.
“Why are you being so direct?” she asked.
He had already given an indirect explanation.
“Let’s get acquainted. My name is Lu Xining,” Lu Xining introduced herself.
The high school student’s older sister revealed her own name and pulled her sister closer.
“This is my sister, Lu Baizhi.”
“Fan Jianqiang,” Fan Xiao responded.
Lu Xining remained silent.
“If you don’t want to say, that’s fine,” Lu Xining got to the point, “When you suggested that everyone split up, was it to create opportunities and expose the weaknesses of the man-eating players in advance?”
“If we don’t separate, how can the man-eating monsters show their fangs? Hiding a time bomb in the team is not good for anyone. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, right?”
Fan Xiao collected the broken steel bars and said, “Let’s go, let’s go after the group of that hooded youth and fragile girl.”
“Hooded youth? A fragile girl?” Lu Baizhi hesitated for a moment.
“A very fitting nickname,” Lu Xining asked, “Did you give us a nickname too?”
Fan Xiao smiled. “It doesn’t matter.”
“I… I’m a little curious,” Lu Baizhi whispered.
“Let’s focus on the task at hand,” Fan Xiao changed the topic.
“It doesn’t seem like a good nickname… Anyway, there are probably other man-eating players mixed in the team. We really need to prioritise the task, otherwise we’ll be at a disadvantage with fewer companions.”
Lu Xining asked Fan Xiao, “Who do you suspect? The hooded youth or the fragile girl?”
“The fragile girl. I always feel something is off about her,” Fan Xiao replied. “Of course, she might not be involved. I couldn’t find any flaws in her micro-expressions. But just to be safe, we should follow her. It won’t take much time anyway. And…”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “There’s no need to go to the station in the east. The time and space station cannot be there.”
“You have a clue?” Lu Xining exclaimed, genuinely surprised.
This time, they were genuinely surprised because she had no idea about the location of the time and space station.
And she had always thought of herself as clever.
Lu Xining shared her perspective, “I also think searching the East Station would be a waste of time. I originally planned to separate from you and Baizhi and head to the library halfway through to gather some information… What clue did you find?”
“It’s just a speculation for now, not yet a clue. It needs to be verified,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s focus on the task at hand.”
After saying this, they headed back the way they came.
Lu Xining glanced at the doll that had been torn into two by the roadside and frowned, feeling a tinge of heartache.
Then, she composed herself and followed closely behind Fan Xiao with her younger sister.
…
The three of them ran forward.
After about ten minutes, the figures of the hooded youth and the fragile girl appeared within their sight.#pleasereadthischapteratwondernovels.com
The hooded youth was injured, clutching his bloodied right arm, running desperately.
Seeing Fan Xiao and the others ahead, he didn’t care if it would awaken the demon, and shouted, “She…”
“He’s a man-eating demon! Quickly stop him! Kill him!”
The fragile girl who was closely following was the first to shout.
Fan Xiao and Lu Xining exchanged glances and simultaneously threw the swords in their hands towards the fragile girl.
Fan Xiao’s aim was the most accurate, and the blade directly struck the fragile girl’s right leg.
In pain, the running girl lost her balance and fell flat on her face.
At that moment, the hooded youth had already arrived in front of Fan Xiao and the others.
“She’s a demon! She actually tried to eat me. She bit off a chunk of my flesh,” the hooded youth spoke rapidly, clutching his bleeding right arm.
His face was pale, as if he had lost a significant amount of blood.
“Baizhi, treat him,” Lu Xining instructed her sister.
“Okay… okay!” Lu Baizhi tried to calm herself and placed her hands on the hooded youth’s arm, and a faint glow appeared.
Fan Xiao was surprised by the healing talent.
But now was not the time to explore.
Fan Xiao and Lu Xining rushed towards the fragile girl.
Lu Xining pulled out a second kitchen knife, while Fan Xiao tightly gripped the broken steel bar.
As soon as they made contact, they ruthlessly attacked the vulnerable girl on the ground, completely disregarding any sense of morality or righteousness.
Fan Xiao was accustomed to doing such things frequently.
However, Lu Xining, a high school student, displayed such ruthlessness at such a young age, which was intriguing.
When—the fragile girl pulled out a fruit knife from her right leg with her right hand and blocked Fan Xiao’s steel bar aiming for her temple.
Her left hand was raised, intercepting Lu Xining’s kitchen knife, which was intended to stab directly at her heart.
Poof!
“Ah…!”
Lu Xining’s knife pierced through the delicate girl’s left hand, eliciting a cry of pain.
The expression of the delicate girl immediately twisted with anger, her face devoid of any trace of vulnerability, and brimmed with ferocity and cruelty.
“Die for me!”
Ignoring the puncture wound on her left hand, she allowed the blade to continue forward, seizing the opportunity to grab hold of Lu Xining’s knife-wielding hand and pulling with force.
The immense strength dislocated Lu Xining’s wrist, sending him flying backward, and he crashed onto the ground and rolled several metres away.
Seizing the moment, Fan Xiao launched another attack, swinging the steel bar fiercely towards the back of the delicate girl’s head, hitting it directly with a resounding thud.
